M1928 Thompson Sub-Machine Gun Miliatry Model

This is perhaps the most recognizable firearm of World War II, made famous by the Airborne Troops of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions. This classic non-firing replica has been out of production for several years and is now returning as an exclusive in the United States.

This military model differs from the original commercial model in its 20 round magazine and its horizontal fore-grip. Though heavy by today's standards, the weight helped control the .45 calibur bursts when operated on full-automatic. The bolt cocks and fires from an open position.

Features:
10.52 Inch Barrel, 34.1 Inches Overall Length, Weight: 9.85 lbs, 20 Round Magazine

This Denix Replica of a Thompson M1928 Sub-Machine Gun, is made of metal and wood, with simulated mechanism of loading and firing and with removable 20 Round Magazine.

The M1928 automatic submachine gun designed by John Taliaferro Thompson in 1918 was adopted in 1938 by the United States Armed Forces serving during World War II and later in the Korean War as well as in early instances of the Vietnam War. It was the favorite of soldiers, criminals, police and civilians for their ergonomics, compact size, reliability, high firing rate in automatic mode and for their ammunition .45 ACP. It had a straight magazine of 20 cartridges or a magazine loader of 50-100 cartridges.

It acquired bad reputation during the time of Prohibition or “dry law” in the United States (1920-1933). It appeared normally in the media of that period, due it was the weapon preferred by the gangsters. Its nicknames were "Trench Broom", "Trench Sweeper", "Chicago Typewriter", "Chicago Piano", "Chicago Style" or "The Chopper".
Since then it has gained popularity among collectors because of its historical importance.
